Offer Description
The Institute for Optoelectronic Systems and Microtechnology (www.isom.upm.es ) of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ISOM-UPM), a Spanish major scientific facility in optoelectronics, offers a position for a highly motivated PhD to contribute to a breakthrough project funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation on the subject of quantum communications.
The candidate will work on developing novel semiconductor quantum dot structures for single photon emitters, a key component of the future quantum technologies that will revolutionize society. He/she will develop nanostructures by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and will perform their structural and optical characterization by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL).
The research will be carried out at ISOM-UPM, but in close collaboration with the project partners that will provide state of the art transmission electron microscopy (IMEYMAT-UCA) and quantum nano-optics simulation and characterization (IMN-CNM-CSIC), as well as with renowned partners outside Spain.

El Instituto de Sistemas Optoelectrónicos y Microtecnología (www.isom.upm.es ) de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ISOM-UPM), un centro científico español de referencia en optoelectrónica, ofrece una plaza para un/a doctor altamente motivado/a que desee contribuir a un proyecto innovador financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación sobre comunicaciones cuánticas.
El/La candidsato trabajará en el desarrollo de nuevas estructuras de puntos cuánticos semiconductores para emisores de fotones individuales, un componente clave de las futuras tecnologías cuánticas que revolucionarán la sociedad. Desarrollará nanoestructuras mediante epitaxia de haces moleculares (MBE) y realizará su caracterización estructural y óptica utilizando microscopía de fuerza atómica (AFM), microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), difracción de rayos X (XRD) y espectroscopía de fotoluminiscencia (PL).
La investigación se llevará a cabo en ISOM-UPM, pero en estrecha colaboración con los socios del proyecto que proporcionarán microscopía electrónica de transmisión de última generación (IMEYMAT-UCA) y simulación y caracterización de nanoóptica cuántica (IMN-CNM-CSIC), así como con socios de renombre fuera de España.
